There are also examples of computation as an expressive element of fashion. In the 80’s and 90’s the fashion labelled as cyberpunk was either related to punk rebelliousness (Vivienne Westwood’s 1983 Nostalgia of Mud collection) or to futuristic expressions of the utopian cyber world (Thierry Mugler, Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto late 1980’s and early 1990’s collections).įashion has historically loved to play with light, sequins, beads, and small pieces of mirror that use many ways of catching and reflecting light as ornamentation.
CYBERPUNK FASHION ART SERIES
Nonetheless, the origins of cyber fashion can be traced back to the superheroes in comic books of the late 1930’s Superman, and later in the 1960’s space travel as depicted in films like ‘Barbarella’ (1967) or the ‘Star Trek’ series of a year earlier. In blurring the dividing lines between the natural and the artificial, cyberpunk also triggers the question of alteration of the human body due to 21st century technological advancements in the fashion photographs of Steven Klein, Mert&Marcus, Nick Knight and Steven Meisel. With collections featuring deconstructed suits and dresses that acknowledge the effect of ‘Tron’ alike beings, the hints of cyberpunk influence on 21st century fashion are evident in the collections of Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh, Rick Owens, Haider Ackermann, Ann Demeulemeester, Christopher Kane, Helmut Lang, Versace, Junya Watanabe and Alexander Wang to name a few. In his Blade Runner-esque spring/summer 2018 collection, Simons’ dystopian imagination was depicted on stage by neon lights, transparent umbrellas, and models wearing genderless anti-uniforms. But even prior the sequel premiere, Raf Simons reinitiated the cyberpunk buzz when he showed us that this movement is far from ‘dead’. As fashion was an integral part for the creation of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, its successor ‘Blade Runner 2049’ relies on costume design as an essential future inspiration for fashion designers….it could be perceived something like ‘tears in the rain’. One reason to reinitiate the cyberpunk talk is the long expected sequel of ‘Blade Runner’ that was released just few days ago. Today, in the 21st century, we live in the projected future from the 1970s cyberpunk, and the fashion designers tend to discover how cyberpunk serves as inspiration for futuristic fashion and how it empowers and transforms the human body.
Fashion designers have a predisposition to search their inspirations in future, and cyberpunk gives them a hint of how future could look like. From the time when Guru Gobind Singh Ji came to Damdama Sahib, Baba Ji was responsible for the distribution of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to other parts of the world and was the "head granthi" (head priest) of Damdama Sahib in Bathinda.The story of 21st century fashion portrays the human desire to overcome the limits of the body by designing clothes for ‘new’ bodies and bodies for ‘new’ clothes. Not only was Baba Ji a brave and fearless soldier but he was also a very intelligent scholar who had mastered several languages. He and Banda Singh Bahadur Ji are recognised as the most honoured martyrs of the Panth who together, set an unique and amazing example for the community to follow for many generations. He spent most of his life as a custodian of the Panth (Sikh community). From about 12 years of age, he grew up around the tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Baba Ji was born on Janu(some records register this as January 20) and died fighting at Amritsar on Novemwhen he was about 75 years old. A bold and fearless saint-soldier, he was always ready to risk his life for the Panth. Tall and strong, he was an exceptionally brave Sikh. He was the first head of the Damdami Taksal (Damdama school of learning), a 300 year old religious school of the Sikhs, which was founded by the last Sikh prophet, Guru Gobind Singh Ji. He was the founder of the Shahid Misl (group). He is one of most honoured martyrs in Sikh history. Futurism Renditions | Yesterday was Baba Deep Singh Ji Shahid’s Birth Date.
